@AlliFlowers my 16 year passed away last year, so I now have an 8 yr old and a 3 year old. My first was a rescue, (I was always a dog person) but I did purchase the other 2 once I realized what a joy cats can be. Takes a tad getting used to the difference lol
@bobbittyboop If only sibs ever showed up together at the door. We just take them in as they show up and max out at 3. Right now we have a 16 year old, a 14 year old, and a 4 year old.
@steventdennis Don’t forget that Threads is brought to you by the good folk at Instagram, who after decades still do not offer an iPad version of their app. @Hey_Beth
U.S. Senator Tina Smith warned my SiriusXM radio show that it's not just Trump who is a threat to democracy but also State GOP officials as well. https://youtu.be/qh-PTpxUBkU
They have lived together for 3 years with a decade between them. They’re only just now willing to share space.

@persagen Why would there be separate events for women and men in chess? That makes no sense.
@Karoli Tell her to contact one of us in the south who live with storms every year. She has to help herself before it comes so that she won’t need help after.

BA.2.86 has the P681R mutation.
This, alone, is bad news.
P681R means, it helps the virus to 'stick' to you.
In Delta, the R in pos 681 created an almost fully optimized FCS (RRRXR/S instead of RRXRR/S).
This enhances furin cleavage.
This makes you sicker.
But sure...
Carry on with the "there is no evidence that this variant is more severe" garbage.
Until you can't.
And then there's the other 29 spike mutations.
I mean, come on. If this takes off we're in trouble.
And when I say 'we', what I really mean is "those of you who refuse to wear masks or stay out of Weatherspoons for more than 10 hours in a row" are in trouble.

@empiricism Definitely not just you. The reason behind all the guns is the NRA. There’s industry behind everything that’s wrong with the US.
